EP1C6T144C8N

The EP1C6T144C8N is a Cyclone® family FPGA supplied in a 144-pin LQFP surface-mount package. It combines a moderate logic fabric with on-chip RAM and flexible I/O options to address data-path and general embedded logic tasks.

Built on the Cyclone architecture, this device targets applications that require up to 5,980 logic elements, approximately 92,160 bits of embedded memory, and configurable clocking. It is optimized for commercial temperature operation and supports standard FPGA configuration and integration workflows.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity 5,980 logic elements for implementing combinational and sequential logic functions.
• Embedded Memory Total on-chip RAM: 92,160 bits (approximately 0.09 Mbits) to store data, FIFOs, and small buffers.
• I/O Count and Standards 98 user I/O pins in a 144-pin package to interface with peripheral devices and board-level signals.
• Clocking Supports the Cyclone family clocking architecture, including support for up to two PLLs for clock multiplication and phase shifting.
• Voltage Supply Core operating range 1.425 V to 1.575 V to match board power sequencing and regulator designs.
• Package and Mounting Surface-mount 144-LQFP (supplier device package listed as 144-TQFP, 20 × 20 mm) for compact PCB layouts.
• Operating Range Commercial temperature grade: 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards and Interfaces (Family-Level) Cyclone family supports LVDS I/O, DDR interfaces for external memory, and PCI (33/66 MHz) connectivity as applicable to system-level designs.
• Compliance RoHS-compliant for lead-free board assembly processes.

Typical Applications

• Data-path Processing Implement packet processing, protocol bridging, or custom arithmetic blocks using the device’s logic elements and on-chip RAM.
• Memory Interfaces Act as a controller or glue logic for DDR SDRAM or other external memory through the Cyclone family’s supported memory interfaces.
• Embedded Peripheral Glue Interface ASSPs, ASICs, or custom peripherals using available I/O and configurable logic to adapt signal timing and protocol translation.
• High-speed Serial / LVDS Interfacing Implement LVDS or multi‑lane signaling support where differential I/O and family-level LVDS support are required.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory 5,980 logic elements combined with ~92,160 bits of RAM provide a practical balance for mid-range embedded designs without excessive overhead.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package The 144-LQFP package enables board-level density while keeping routing manageable for mixed-signal and digital boards.
• Flexible Clocking Family-level support for up to two PLLs helps implement precise clock domains and supports synchronous interfaces.
• Commercial Temperature Suitability Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation, aligning with a wide range of consumer and commercial electronics applications.
• Design Migration and Tool Support As a Cyclone family device, it benefits from device migration strategies and Quartus II toolchain references described in the family handbook, simplifying upgrades across densities.
• Regulatory-Friendly RoHS compliance supports modern manufacturing and environmental requirements.
